I'm really trying to sort out the following. The proper usage of each of these ",allá ,acá , allí , aquí, ahí así." Any suggestions would be appreciated.( I know theres a couple more and that makes it more confusing.)

Aquí... (este lugar)... here

Ahí...(ese lugar) there

Allí... (aquel lugar) there further away

Acá... here, it means the same that "aquí", but refers to a much wider area...

Allá... (aquel lugar) it means the same that "allí", but it refers to a much wider area, so if you say "allá" it's like "in that block", whereas "allí" means "in that building".
